Former British TV presenter Huw Edwards, the long-time face of the BBC’s flagship news program, has pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent pictures of children. Edwards was the BBC’s highest-paid journalist and top news anchor until he quit in April following allegations he had paid a young person thousands of pounds for sexually explicit photos, something which is unconnected to the criminal charges.
During the 25-minute hearing, prosecutor Ian Hope said Edwards had been sent 377 sexually explicit images by an adult male on WhatsApp, 41 of which were indecent, illegal images of children. Hope said seven of the 41 images were of the most serious kind and that two of those seven were pornographic videos of a child possibly aged between seven and nine years old.
